The Jishu Shrine is dedicated to the Shinto gods of love (and has been since before the formation of Japan itself)! Whether you’re looking for love, hoping to maintain a strong relationship, or even trying to fend off a love rival, this shrine is set up to aid you in your attempts. During the shrine’s Tanabata festival, you can write down your heart’s desires on little paper dolls of Orihime and Hikoboshi, and hang them on the conveniently placed bamboo plants.
